Mamuta occupy a key niche in the aquatic ecology of the continental shelf off of Khorkalon’s southeastern coastal region. It keeps the pseudocrustacean population in check which in turn safeguards the fisheries that the planetary population has come to rely upon. At the same time Mamuta present a hazard to the growing pearl and mineral extraction industries that have arisen in recent years as they tend to confuse automated harvester drones for prey. The carnivore’s highly developed senses serve it well in the very nearly lightless realm it inhabits, making it difficult if not impossible to surprise. There has been some talk of creating a luxury sport fishing industry built around the creature but environmental concerns have so far prevented anything substantive from developing.
